I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

I bought my dogs an advent calendar at Sam’s Club this year. They’ve loved the jerky treats each day…and I have NO idea how they’ll manage once advent is over. They look forward to these treats every day. Lord, help me! Why did I put myself in this situation???

My dog, Whitney, understands almost everything I say to her. It’s pretty remarkable! On the other hand, my other dog, Sadie, is as deaf as a doornail. I’ve taken to using hand signals with her. Just thought I’d share a little bit of Mama Jo’s daily life with the dogs. 🐕🐾

Idiots.

Do you ever find it strange that so many famous singers died in plane crashes? Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynard, Jim Croce, Richie Valens, John Denver, and more. So strange…and tragic.
